White Rice Process Equipment QAC Test Strips

Indigo® brand 0-400ppm quick response QAC test strips can verify EPA-allowed ppm active range for no-rinse food contact surfaces. This will ensure effective microbial sanitization of food contact surfaces, such as equipment, hoppers, conveyors, or tote interiors. Typical use areas are pre-cleaning and post-drying machinery which are important in high-volume milling and packaging operations where there are shared surfaces in multi-batch facilities.

Rice residue left in bins, augers, or silos can harbor moisture and support microbial growth. Quats help disrupt bacterial cell membranes and reduce bioload on hard surfaces. Biofilms from organisms like Listeria can be particularly resistant and require thorough cleaning before quat application.
